  "account": "Lafayette, La. (AP) — Lunch Winfield led Louisiana-Lafayette to a 21-14 victory over UAB on Saturday night. The sophomore running back rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns, giving the Ragin' Cajuns a 14-point halftime lead. Winfield scored on runs of 9 and 11 yards in the second quarter, extending the lead to 21-7. UAB's Sterling Sanders forced a fumble by Darrell Smith, which Chris Burge returned for a touchdown, but UAB was unable to capitalize on subsequent drives. With 8:59 left in the fourth quarter, Nate Rogers' 11-yard touchdown run narrowed the gap to seven points. UAB's Collin Jacob intercepted quarterback Ryder Burton late in the game, but Winfield sealed the victory with his two touchdown runs. Louisiana-Lafayette will face Charlotte next Saturday.",
